Abstract
Lipids are one of the major components of biological membranes including the plasma membrane, which is the interface between the cell and the environment. It has become clear that membrane lipids also serve as substrates for the generation of numerous signalling lipids such as phosphatidic acid, phosphoinositides, sphingolipids, lysophospholipids, oxylipins, N-acylethanolamines, free fatty acids and others. The enzymatic production and metabolism of these signalling molecules are tightly regulated and can rapidly be activated upon abiotic stress signals. Abiotic stress like water deficit and temperature stress triggers lipid-dependent signalling cascades, which control the expression of gene clusters and activate plant adaptation processes. Signalling lipids are able to recruit protein targets transiently to the membrane and thus affect conformation and activity of intracellular proteins and metabolites. In plants, knowledge is still scarce of lipid signalling targets and their physiological consequences. This review focuses on the generation of signalling lipids and their involvement in response to abiotic stress. We describe lipid-binding proteins in the context of changing environmental conditions and compare different approaches to determine lipid-protein interactions, crucial for deciphering the signalling cascades.

Abstract
Several lipid classes constitute the universal matrix of the biological membranes. With their amphipathic nature, lipids not only build the continuous barrier that confers identity to every cell and organelle, but they are also active actors that modulate the activity of the proteins immersed in the lipid bilayer. The plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, an enzyme from plant cells, is an excellent example of a transmembrane protein whose activity is influenced by the hydrophilic compartments at both sides of the membrane and by the hydrophobic domains of the lipid bilayer. As a result, an extensive documentation of the effect of numerous amphiphiles in the enzyme activity can be found. Detergents, membrane glycerolipids, and sterols can produce activation or inhibition of the enzyme activity. In some cases, these effects are associated with the lipids of the membrane bulk, but in others, a direct interaction of the lipid with the protein is involved. This review gives an account of reports related to the action of the membrane lipids on the H(+)-ATPase activity.

Abstract
Inositol-containing phospholipids (phosphoinositides, PIs) control numerous cellular processes in eukaryotic cells. For plants, a key involvement of PIs has been demonstrated in the regulation of membrane trafficking, cytoskeletal dynamics and in processes mediating the adaptation to changing environmental conditions. Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P(2)) mediates its cellular functions via binding to various alternative target proteins. Such downstream targets of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) are characterised by the possession of specific lipid-binding domains, and binding of the PtdIns(4,5)P(2) ligand exerts effects on their activity or localisation. The large number of potential alternative binding partners - and associated cellular processes - raises the question how alternative or even contrapuntal effects of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) are orchestrated to enable cellular function. This article aims to provide an overview of recent insights and new views on how distinct functional pools of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) are generated and maintained. The emerging picture suggests that PtdIns(4,5)P(2) species containing different fatty acids influence the lateral mobility of the lipids in the membrane, possibly enabling specific interactions of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) pools with certain downstream targets. PtdIns(4,5)P(2) pools with certain functions might also be defined by protein-protein interactions of PI4P 5-kinases, which pass PtdIns(4,5)P(2) only to certain downstream partners. Individually or in combination, PtdIns(4,5)P(2) species and specific protein-protein interactions of PI4P 5-kinases might contribute to the channelling of PtdIns(4,5)P(2) signals towards specific functional effects. The dynamic nature of PI-dependent signalling complexes with specific functions is an added challenge for future studies of plant PI signalling.

Abstract
"All things flow and change…even in the stillest matter there is unseen flux and movement." Attributed to Heraclitus (530-470 BC), from The Story of Philosophy by Will Durant. Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher, was thinking on a much larger scale than molecular signaling; however, his visionary comments are an important reminder for those studying signaling today. Even in unstimulated cells, signaling pathways are in constant metabolic flux and provide basal signals that travel throughout the organism. In addition, negatively charged phospholipids, such as the polyphosphorylated inositol phospholipids, provide a circuit board of on/off switches for attracting or repelling proteins that define the membranes of the cell. This template of charged phospholipids is sensitive to discrete changes and metabolic fluxes-e.g., in pH and cations-which contribute to the oscillating signals in the cell. The inherent complexities of a constantly fluctuating system make understanding how plants integrate and process signals challenging. In this review we discuss one aspect of lipid signaling: the inositol family of negatively charged phospholipids and their functions as molecular sensors and regulators of metabolic flux in plants.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides (PIs) are regulatory lipids that control various physiological processes in eukaryotic organisms. As in other eukaryotes, the plant PI system is a central regulator of metabolism. The analysis of mutant plants that lack certain PI species has revealed their physiological relevance; however, knowledge of the factors controlling the distribution of PIs and the effects on their target proteins is still limited. To understand PI functions better, genetic approaches should be combined with biochemical analyses and cell biology, as has been done in several recent publications. Here, I highlight plant-specific physiological processes that are controlled by PIs and suggest future avenues of research. A detailed understanding of the functions and effects of PIs might offer new opportunities for modulating plant growth and hardiness against environmental influences.

Abstract
A partial rice (Oryza sativa L.) cDNA clone, OsPI4K1c, was isolated through screening of a cDNA library constructed from tillering materials. OsPI4K1c encoded a peptide of 608 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 68.4 kDa. The OsPI4K1c peptide shared high homology and possessed the highly conserved domains present in most isolated cloned PI4-kinases, i.e. a lipid kinase unique (LKU) domain and a catalytic (CAT) domain. A region with similarity to pleckstrin homology (PH) domain was present in OsPI4K1c as well. Further comparison with genomic sequences in databases revealed that OsPI4K1c is located at the 3'-end of a putative rice PI 4-kinase coding gene OsPI4K1, and its coding region corresponded to the C-terminal half of OsPI4K1 protein. Twelve exons (49-562 bp in size) and 11 introns (77-974 bp in size) were identified in OsPI4K1c. The recombinant protein expressed in Escherichia coli phosphorylates phosphatidylinositol at the D4 position of the inositol ring. OsPI4K1 transcript levels were detected in a low but constitutive manner in shoot, stem, leaf, spike and root tissues and did not change upon treatment with different hormones, calcium and jasmonic acid (JA). However, treatment with salicylic acid (SA) elevated the mRNA level of the OsPI4K1 gene, which suggested the involvement of OsPI4K1 in wounding responses.

Abstract
Two tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill. cv. Pera) callus lines tolerant to NaCl were obtained by successive subcultures of NaCl-sensitive calli in 50 and 100 mM NaCl-supplemented medium. Growth and ion content, as well as plasma membrane lipid composition, fluidity and H+-ATPase (EC 3.6.1.35) activity, were studied in both NaCl-sensitive and NaCl-tolerant calli. Although calli tolerant to 100 mM NaCl exhibited a reduced growth relative to calli sensitive to NaCl or tolerant to 50 mM NaCl, growth of calli tolerant to 100 mM NaCl was higher than that of NaCl-sensitive calli grown for one subculture in 100 mM NaCl. Growth in the presence of 100 mM NaCl provoked an increase of Na+ and Cl- content, but no significant changes in K+ and Ca2+. As compared with NaCl-sensitive and 50 mM NaCl-tolerant calli, plasma membrane vesicles isolated from calli tolerant to 100 mM NaCl exhibited a higher phospholipid and sterol content as well as a lower phospholipid/free sterol ratio and a lower double bond index (DBI) of phospholipid fatty acids. The changes in plasma membrane lipid composition were correlated with a decrease of plasma membrane fluidity in calli tolerant to 100 mM NaCl, as indicated by fluorimetric studies using diphenylhexatriene (DPH) as probe. Plasma membrane-enriched vesicles isolated from calli tolerant to 100 mM NaCl showed lower ATP hydrolysis and ATP-dependent H+-pumping activities, as well as a lower passive permeability to H+ than plasma membrane from NaCl-sensitive and 50 mM NaCl-tolerant calli. The involvement of the changes in plasma membrane lipid content and composition, fluidity and H+-ATPase activity in salt tolerance of tomato calli is discussed.

Abstract
During the stationary phase of growth, after 7 to 12 d in culture, the levels of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdInsP(2)) decreased by 75% in plasma membranes of the red alga Galdieria sulphuraria. Concomitant with the decrease in PtdInsP(2) levels in plasma membranes, there was an increase in PtdInsP(2) in microsomes, suggesting that the levels of plasma membrane PtdInsP(2) are regulated differentially. The decline of PtdInsP(2) in plasma membranes was accompanied by a 70% decrease in the specific activity of PtdInsP kinase and by reduced levels of protein cross-reacting with antisera against a conserved PtdInsP kinase domain. Upon osmotic stimulation, the loss of PtdInsP(2)from the plasma membrane increased from 10% in 7-d-old cells to 60% in 12-d-old cells, although the levels of inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (InsP(3)) produced in whole cells were roughly equal at both times. When cells with low plasma membrane PtdInsP(2) levels were osmotically stimulated, a mild osmotic stress (12.5 mM KCl) activated PtdInsP kinase prior to InsP(3) production, whereas in cells with high plasma membrane PtdInsP(2), more severe stress (250 mM KCl) was required to induce an increase in PtdInsP kinase activity. The differential regulation of a plasma membrane signaling pool of PtdInsP(2) is discussed with regard to the implications for understanding the responsive state of cells.

Abstract
The yeast protein Sac1p is involved in a range of cellular functions, including inositol metabolism, actin cytoskeletal organization, endoplasmic reticulum ATP transport, phosphatidylinositol-phosphatidylcholine transfer protein function, and multiple-drug sensitivity. The activity of Sac1p and its relationship to these phenotypes are unresolved. We show here that the regulation of lipid phosphoinositides in sac1 mutants is defective, resulting in altered levels of all lipid phos- phoinositides, particularly phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. We have identified two proteins with homology to Sac1p that can suppress drug sensitivity and also restore the levels of the phosphoinositides in sac1 mutants. Overexpression of truncated forms of these suppressor genes confirmed that suppression was due to phosphoinositide phosphatase activity within these proteins. We have now demonstrated this activity for Sac1p and have characterized its specificity. The in vitro phosphatase activity and specificity of Sac1p were not altered by some mutations. Indeed, in vivo mutant Sac1p phosphatase activity also appeared unchanged under conditions in which cells were drug-resistant. However, under different growth conditions, both drug sensitivity and the phosphatase defect were manifest. It is concluded that SAC1 encodes a novel lipid phosphoinositide phosphatase in which specific mutations can cause the sac1 phenotypes by altering the in vivo regulation of the protein rather than by destroying phosphatase activity.

Abstract
Phosphoinositides are a family of inositol-containing phospholipids which are present in all eukaryotic cells. Although in most cells these lipids, with the exception of phosphatidylinositol, constitute only a very minor proportion of total cellular lipids, they have received immense attention by researchers in the past 15-20 years. This is due to the discovery that these lipids, rather than just having structural functions, play key roles in a wide range of important cellular processes. Much less is known about the plant phosphoinositides than about their mammalian counterparts. However, it has been established that a functional phosphoinositide system exists in plant cells and it is becoming increasingly clear that inositol-containing lipids are likely to play many important roles throughout the life of a plant. It is not our intention to give an exhaustive overview of all aspects of the field, but rather we focus on the phosphoinositide kinases responsible for the synthesis of all phosphorylated forms of phosphatidylinositol. Also, we mention some of the aspects of current phosphoinositide research which, in our opinion, are most likely to provide a suitable starting point for further research into the role of phosphoinositides in plants.

Abstract
The metabolism of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) changed during the culture period of the thermoacidophilic red alga Galdieria sulphuraria. Seven days after inoculation, the amount of PIP2 in the cells was 910 +/- 100 pmol g-1 fresh weight; by 12 d, PIP2 levels increased to 1200 +/- 150 pmol g-1 fresh weight. In vitro assays indicated that phosphatidylinositol monophosphate (PIP) kinase specific activity increased from 75 to 230 pmol min-1 mg-1 protein between d 7 and 12. When G. sulphuraria cells were osmostimulated, transient increases of up to 4-fold could be observed in inositol-1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) levels within 90 s, regardless of the age of the cells. In d-12 cells, the increase in IP3 was preceded by a transient increase of up to 5-fold in specific PIP kinase activity, whereas no such increase was detected after osmostimulation of d-7 cells. The increase in PIP kinase activity before IP3 signaling in d-12 cells indicates that there is an additional pathway for regulation of phosphoinositide metabolism after stimulation other than an initial activation of phospholipase C. Also, the rapid activation of PIP2 biosynthesis in cells with already-high PIP2 levels suggests that the PIP2 present was not available for signal transduction. By comparing the response of the cells at d 7 and 12, we have identified two potentially distinct pools of PIP2.

Abstract
Lowe syndrome, also known as oculocerebrorenal syndrome, is caused by mutations in the X chromosome-encoded OCRL gene. The OCRL protein is 51% identical to inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase II (5-phosphatase II) from human platelets over a span of 744 aa, suggesting that OCRL may be a similar enzyme. We engineered a construct of the OCRL cDNA that encodes amino acids homologous to the platelet 5-phosphatase for expression in baculovirus-infected Sf9 insect cells. This cDNA encodes aa 264-968 of the OCRL protein. The recombinant protein was found to catalyze the reactions also carried out by platelet 5-phosphatase II. Thus OCRL converts inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate to inositol 1,4-bisphosphate, and it converts inositol 1,3,4,5-tetrakisphosphate to inositol 1,3,4-trisphosphate. Most important, the enzyme converts phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate to phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate. The relative ability of OCRL to catalyze the three reactions is different from that of 5-phosphatase II and from that of another 5-phosphatase isoenzyme from platelets, 5-phosphatase I. The recombinant OCRL protein hydrolyzes the phospholipid substrate 10- to 30-fold better than 5-phosphatase II, and 5-phosphatase I does not cleave the lipid at all. We also show that OCRL functions as a phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 5-phosphatase in OCRL-expressing Sf9 cells. These results suggest that OCRL is mainly a lipid phosphatase that may control cellular levels of a critical metabolite, phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate. Deficiency of this enzyme apparently causes the protean manifestations of Lowe syndrome.

Abstract
We have isolated additional cDNA clones encoding type II inositol polyphosphate 5-phosphatase (5-phosphatase II) resulting in a combined cDNA of 3076 nucleotides encoding a protein of 942 amino acids. The 5-phosphatase II hydrolyzed both Ins(1,4,5)P3 to Ins(1,4)P2 and the phospholipid PtdIns(4,5)P2 to PtdIns(4)P both in vitro and in vivo. There are two motifs highly conserved between types I and II 5-phosphatase and several other proteins presumed to be inositol phosphatases suggesting a possible role in catalysis. The type II 5-phosphatase also contains homology to several GTPase activating proteins although no such activity for 5-phosphatase II was found. The predicted protein ends with the sequence CNPL, suggesting that it is isoprenylated as a mechanism for membrane attachment. We found evidence for isoprenylation by demonstrating incorporation of [3H]mevalonate into native but not C939S mutant 5-phosphatase II expressed in Sf9 insect cells. Furthermore, we showed that membrane localization and the activity of 5-phosphatase II toward its lipid substrate PtdIns(4,5)P2 is reduced by eliminating 5-phosphatase II isoprenylation in the mutant C939S relative to the native enzyme.

Abstract
Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs) represent a new family of protein kinases which are proposed to contain, in a single polypeptide, both a kinase domain and an adjoining calmodulin-like domain with four calcium-binding EF-hand motifs [Harper, J.F., Sussman, M.R., Schaller, G.E., Putnam-Evans, C., Charbonneau, H., & Harmon, A.C. (1991) Science 252, 951-954]. DNA cloning and Western blot analysis indicate that multiple CDPK isoforms are present in the model plant system Arabidopsis thaliana. One CDPK gene called AK1 was isolated from Arabidopsis as a full-length cDNA. The predicted AK1 protein has a M(r) of 72,645 and is 116 amino acid residues longer at the amino terminus than the prototype CDPK alpha gene previously identified in soybean. The most highly conserved region between these two CDPKs is a region of 31 amino acids that joins the kinase and calmodulin-like domains. To verify the kinase activity of the enzyme encoded by AK1, a fusion of an amino-terminally truncated AK1 to the C-terminus of glutathione S-transferase was expressed in Escherichia coli. The fusion protein was purified and displayed a maximum kinase activity of 40 nmol of phosphate/(min.mg), using histone IIIs as a substrate. The enzyme activity was stimulated 3-6-fold by calcium and 2-5-fold by crude lipid. However, a synergistic stimulation of 16-30-fold was observed by the addition of both calcium and crude lipid. Lipid stimulation was specific for lysophosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylinositol and did not occur with the addition of phosphatidylserine or phosphatidylcholine.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Plasma membranes were isolated from carrot (Daucus carota L.) cells grown in suspension culture and treated with phospholipase A2 from snake or bee venom for 10 min. As a result of this treatment, phosphatidylinositol kinase activity was recovered in the soluble fraction. There was no detectable diacylglycerol kinase or phosphatidylinositol monophosphate kinase activity released from the membranes after the phospholipase A2 treatment. Treating the plasma membranes with phospholipase C or D did not release PI kinase activity. The phospholipase A2-released PI kinase was activated over 2-fold by a heat stable, soluble 70 kDa protein. The partially purified 70 kDa activator increases the Vmax but does not affect the Km of the phospholipase A2-released PI kinase.

Abstract
Several plasma membrane phospholipids have been studied for their ability to modulate the activity of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We show here that phosphatidylinositol phosphate (PIP), phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate (PIP2), and/or the phosphatidylinositol and PIP kinases are localized primarily in the plasma membrane. Previous in vivo studies with S. cerevisiae have shown that large, rapid, and reversible changes occur in the levels of PIP and PIP2 congruent with changes in cellular ATP levels. We demonstrate here that isolated plasma membranes exhibit the same changes in PIP and PIP2 content when they are supplied with or washed free of ATP. Using a mixed micellar assay we systematically studied the efficacy of the plasma membrane lipids in sustaining the activity of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase. We demonstrate for the first time that a number of plasma membrane glycerophospholipids effectively stimulate the ATPase, including PIP, PIP2, and cardiolipin. Phosphoinositol-containing sphingolipids, major components of the plasma membrane, are also shown to stimulate the ATPase at significantly lower levels than the glycerophospholipids and must also be considered as important effectors in vivo.
